Likely because I watched this when I was 8 years old with my parents who were then in charge of a Christian Mystic Chuch on Hope STreet in Los Angeles, California then.
So, I was conditioned a lot by their belief system as many children were then for both good or ill but usually both. I'm sure if you grew up then you can relate to what I'm saying here.
For example, at Horace Mann grade school that i went to from 3rd grade to 6th grade then (1954 to 1960) when I graduated Grade school then had I think it was Tuesday and I think they called is something like "Sunday School" Day where kids who went to public school would be sent to their churches for a Sunday School on Tuesday (it seems like this was Tuesday afternoon every week). Which likely seems impossible to many people now but this is how things were done in Glendale, California from 1954 to likely 1960 or after when I graduated and we moved so I could go to Woodrow Wilson Junior High School and then after I graduated there Glendale High school for my Sophomore and Junior Year and then I went to santa Fe, New Mexico to a private church school from october of 1965 until I graduated High school then in May of 1966.
However, Moses is the most easily relatable Prophet in the Bible that I can relate to. In some ways his life experience (on some levels mirrors mine) in many ways which is why I can relate to him so much.
In fact, even the Burning Bush experience he has in the Bible I also experienced a "Burning Bush" on Mt. Shasta and so watching him go meet the burning bush also brings tears to my eyes because the look in his eyes was just like mine then too in August 1970 while climbing Mt. Shasta at 2:30 AM in the morning going up from Horse Camp Emergency Climber's lodge owned by the Sierra Club to save the lives of Climbers to rescue them if possible in emergencies as Mt. Shasta is considere either the hardest easy climb or the easier really hard climb in the U.S. which makes sense to me if you have ever climbed it.
Many many people have lost their lives climbing mount shasta for one reason or another over the years.
NUmber one reason they die? Probably overestimating their skills during the weather conditions they were approaching.
Sort of like Flying a private plane, climbing Mt. Shasta is completely unforgiving and this is how people die there a lot too.
So, the Burning Bush on Mt. Shasta in August 1970 permanently changed my life forever!
By God's Grace
